Engrossed in House → Enrolled Bill · 2 edits

MINOR

This diff reflects the transition of HR 983 from its House-engrossed form to the enrolled bill format. The substantive policy content is unchanged; the differences are limited to standard legislative formatting, added boilerplate language (Congress session header, 'Be it enacted' clause, signature lines), and minor typographic adjustments such as adding quotation marks around statutory references.

TECHNICAL

Standard enrolled bill formatting was applied: Congress session header, GPO metadata, 'Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives' language, and signature blocks for the Speaker and Vice President were added.

Quotation marks were added around statutory cross-references (e.g., 'chapter 1606 of title 10') to match enrolled bill style conventions.
